30 Years Strong.
At OE Utility Services, we Get More Out for our Customers — across Ontario, for three decades.
Greater Toronto Area · Durham & Area · Hamilton & Area · Barrie & Area · London & Area · Ottawa & Area — OE's six Regional Business Units (RBUs) across Ontario.
In 2026, OE Utility Services proudly celebrates 30 years of serving Ontario — and the Customers, crews, and communities who got us here. One truck in a Mississauga lot in 1996. More than 70 trucks across six Regional Business Units (RBUs) in 2026. What began as a single hydrovac and one promise — dig smarter, leave it better — is now an Ontario-wide operation. The promise hasn't changed, and neither has who it's for: our Customers.
